Running the Tarawera 50km Ultra Marathon for Hospice Southland

Southland

Hey Everyone,

I’m heading back to Rotorua to run the Tarawera 50km Ultra Marathon on Saturday 14th February 2026. After ticking off 50km (well… 52km!) for my 50th birthday, I wanted a goal that would motivate me when the trail gets tough - and this year, I’m running for Hospice Southland. This amazing place has supported our whānau with incredible care, compassion, and dignity through some of life’s hardest moments, and this run is my way of giving something back.

Running has become a big part of my life in recent years, and having a meaningful purpose will help carry me through the challenges on the course. If you’re able to donate, I would be so grateful — your support helps Hospice Southland continue caring for the people of Southland and their families when they need it most. Every donation, big or small, truly makes a difference.

Ngā mihi nui.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
